T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution
T1059.007 JavaScript
The RTF document contains multiple indicators of malicious OLE objects, including composite monikers and excessive hex data, strongly suggesting exploitation of CVE-2017-8570. ClamAV detections confirm this, identifying the sample as a Delphi Downloader. The embedded OLE object likely contains shellcode or a script designed to download and execute a second-stage payload.
Heuristics 12
-
Composite Moniker — CVE-2017-8570 (drops SCT script) critical CVE_2017_8570RTF \objdata decodes to OLE data containing the Composite Moniker — CVE-2017-8570 (drops SCT script) CLSID — the vulnerable control/moniker is embedded directly in the document's object stream, the delivery shape of this exploit. RTF objects auto-render when Word opens the file.
-
Composite Moniker in RTF OLE object high RTF_COMPOSITE_MONIKER_RELATEDRTF contains Composite Moniker CLSID in OLE object context, but no nearby scriptlet/SCT payload was confirmed. Treat as related moniker attack-surface evidence rather than proof of CVE-2017-8570 exploitation.
-
ClamAV: Win.Downloader.DelphiDownloader-6609388-1 critical CLAMAV_DETECTIONClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Downloader.DelphiDownloader-6609388-1
-
PE header (with DOS stub) in hex data critical RTF_MZ_HEXHex-encoded PE (MZ + DOS stub) found inside RTF — likely an embedded executable payload
-
Automatically linked OLE object high RTF_OBJAUTLINKRTF contains \objautlink — an automatically linked OLE object surface that can be updated or activated when Word opens the document.
-
\objupdate forces OLE activation high RTF_OBJUPDATERTF contains \objupdate — forces automatic OLE object instantiation when the document is opened, bypassing user interaction. Almost exclusively seen in Equation Editor exploit documents.
-
Package object class high RTF_OBJCLASS_PACKAGEOLE Package object — can wrap arbitrary files
-
Large hex data blocks in OLE object high RTF_EXCESSIVE_HEXRTF contains ~1637KB of hex-encoded data inside \objdata sections — may hide a payload
-
Suspicious extracted artifact high EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGEOne or more files extracted from inside this sample matched static suspicious-content checks such as script obfuscation, encoded payload blobs, packed data, or execution/download terms.
-
OLE object data medium RTF_OBJDATARTF contains 3 \objdata section(s) — embedded OLE objects
-
Embedded OLE object medium RTF_OBJEMBRTF contains \objemb — embedded OLE object
-
Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URLOne or more URLs were extracted from the document. The URL itself is not a detection — see the per-URL labels for which channel (macro, JS, link annotation, document body, ...) reached each URL.URL http://charactercounts.org/home/index.html In RTF body
